Ford recalling 1.9 million vehicles to replace air bags

Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 1.9 million vehicles in North America to replace faulty passenger-side front air bags made by Japanese supplier Takata Corp.
The recall is part of a nationwide expansion of an ongoing Takata air bag recall, which was already the largest U.S. recall in history.
Certain Takata air bags can inflate with too much force and spread shrapnel into the vehicles. At least 11 deaths worldwide have been linked to this the defect.
The vehicles affected in the expanded Ford recall include the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan.
Ford has stated that it is not aware of any injuries resulting from these vehicles. It will notify customers and replace the air bags for free.

Airbus says much-delayed a400m military plane ‘worth waiting for’

Airbus Group SE sought to ease mounting tensions over the A400M military-transport plane, vowing to find fixes for the latest issues as Germany considers leasing or even buying aircraft from competitors to meet the country’s needs.
The plane is “worth waiting for,” Airbus Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders said Wednesday at a press conference at the Berlin Air Show. Together with its suppliers, Airbus is working “intensely” on resolving production issues and is seeking solutions for the foreseeable future.
Germany, the largest customer for the A400M, has grown increasingly frustrated with delays, which threaten to hamper plans to expand its military role globally. The country has thus far received just three planes, and a schedule that called for nine deliveries in 2016 is in question amid technical problems including fuselage cracks and faulty engine gearboxes.
